The title and plot point refers to the zoot suit, a suit with high-waisted, wide-legged, tight-cuffed, pegged trousers, and a long coat with wide lapels and wide padded shoulders. This style of clothing was popularized by Mexican-Americans, African Americans, and Italian Americans during the late 1930s and 1940s.
This is one of the few cartoons where both Tom and Jerry speak.
Irven Spence worked mainly on the jitterbugging sequence, according to animator Mark Kausler.
The ukelele Tim says was popular in another era, so the femme fatale kitty rightly accused him of being 'behind the times' or...a square.
The radio announcer refers to a 'victory collar' on the suit, which was a nod to wartime fabric rationing.
"Tom Cat: [Imitating Charles Boyer] Ah, I love you. When I'm with you, I am what you call, uh, a hep cat. I am hip to the jive. I'm in the groove, darling. Toots: Now you're REALLY sendin' me, Jackson. Tom Cat: [as he's talking, Jerry sets Tom's foot ablaze] Ah, you set my soul on fire. It is not just a little, uh, spark. It is a flame; a big roaring flame. Ah, I can feel it now. It is burning... burning... burning... hey. Something is burning around here! [Tom screams in pain from the hot foot]"
"Bit Part: [on the radio] Boy are you corny! How many times have you been told that? How many girls have said, "No, Horace, I can only be a sister to you." Get your boots laced, buddy. Get hep to the jive. Step in and see Smilin' Sam, the Zoot Suit Man. Step out with a zoot suit, with a drape shape and a reet pleat. Wear an ankle-length jacket, with three-foot shoulders. Pants that begin at the chin, zoom to a fifty-four inch knee, then fade, softly, to a three-inch Victory cuff. Get hep, get one, get lost, in a new, zoot uh-suit."
